One of the Triplets
Hello Everyone
As most of you probably know, a few years ago President Bush named three countries that were members of an "Axis of evil."
Now, I don't know hardly anything about politics and the ways of other countries as compared to our country. So, when our President shares information with the nation through news broadcast, I'm inclined to believe the information that is being shared.
Although, there have been a few times that a "Red Flag" was raised within my conscience upon hearing certain information. For example, about a year ago, there was the circumstance to give control of our sea ports to other foreign countries. That did not set well with me at all.
A few days ago, I was thinking about the 2008 Presidential election. My thought was, "Whom ever become the next President will be (i.e. Senator McCain, Senator Clinton, or some other viable candidate whom have not entered the race yet)," one of his or her primary responsibilities will be to discipline the evil tripletts (Iraq, Iran, and North Korea).
With that said, thus far, I have not been able to grasp the pending deals with North Korea, given their track record, to negotiate any deals with them that would supposely end their nuclear ambitions.
My mind set has been that our country do not negotiate with terrorist and/or rogue (evil) nations. Our country confront those evil/rogue nations to bring them to justice.
Currently, this is what I'm seeing. North Korea has encountered a hinderance, stumbling block, or complication to their nuclear ambition. Now, they want other countries to assist them past those issues.
From my perspective, If North Korea was going to be dealt with at this point:
(1.) Allow them to take any and all necessary actions to disengage their nuclear ambition.
(2.) Monitor them for period of time, a few years
(3.) Evaluate their negative and positive behavior
(4.) If acceptable, alot them the same courtesies as other friendly nations
(5.) If unacceptable, prepare for and implement any and all confrontation efforts to enforce
their compliance
(6.) ABSOLUTELY, NO NEGOTIATING

Thomas, I see where you're coming from. As of this point N. Korea is a communist nation with nuclear ambitions, but they aren't a terrorist threat ... yet. I think diplomacy is a smart move for the U.S./U.N. and N. Korea for a couple of reasons.
N. Korea realizes that if they don't engage in legitimate trade and world economics, they will suffer immensely. At the same time, the U.S. has learned from its mistakes in Iraq and thank God are taking a more diplomatic approach to this situation.
I'm certainly no fan of Kim Jong-Il and his supporters, but I'm glad both he and the U.S. government are using their brains on this one and moving toward nuclear disarmament without the threat of violence.
Another reason it's important take a diplomatic approach is to set a good example for other countries and also somewhat disassociate ourselves from the "bullying" persona the world sees us as. We are the world power in the present day, and it's our responsibility to conduct oversight for the protection of smaller countries and our own. But we haven't conducted that oversight properly in the past few years. America is loathed more these days, but we should be seen as the "good guy."
We've also been neglecting our responsibilities of oversight and protection in other areas, Darfur for example. Hopefully this move towards peaceful disarmament is a step forward for our country and its image.
